POTTING TECHNOLOGY FOR MARINE ELECTRONICS

Share:

The marine environment is one of the harshest and most unforgiving settings for electronic components. Constant exposure to saltwater, humidity, UV rays, and extreme temperature fluctuations threatens the reliability of critical systems such as motors, batteries, inverters, printed circuit boards (PCBs), and LED lighting. In this challenging landscape, Demak Group – a trusted name in industries like automotive, e-mobility, and LED lighting – is combining advanced dispensing machinery with high-performance and certified resin systems designed specifically for marine electronics protection.

The offer

Demak’s marine potting and marine encapsulation solutions cover a wide range of marine applications, including:

Electric motors and inverters: Epoxy resins with high thermal conductivity ensure electrical insulation and structural protection while aiding heat transfer, complementing the cooling systems and enhancing the overall reliability of propulsion units. These epoxy resins marine solutions are built to withstand the toughest environments.

Batteries and energy storage: Demak’s advanced encapsulation resins not only protect battery modules from water ingress, corrosion, and mechanical shocks but also feature flame-retardant properties designed to mitigate the risks associated with thermal runaway, enhancing both safety and reliability.

Electronic and inductive components: Potting creates a robust barrier against humidity, salt, and environmental stress, ensuring critical control units remain operational.

LED lighting: Demak’s transparent or translucent polyurethane resins are UV-resistant, anti-yellowing, and they protect electronic circuits from salt spray and extreme temperature variations, eliminating the risk of corrosion and short circuits. They are ideal for marine LED lighting applications with guaranteed performance over the years. Demak’s advanced dispensing systems ensure a precise encapsulation process, resulting in reliable and long-lasting performance.

Most of the LED manufacturers are already relying on Demak Technology to get IP68 or IP69K lighting fixtures.
The advantages brought by Demak are numerous: maximum protection, thermal management, durability and reliability, extended lifespan and safety.

By choosing Demak, manufacturers gain not only cutting-edge materials and equipment but also a partner offering comprehensive consulting on processes, technical support, training, and customer service.

Research, Testing and Innovation

Demak Polymers’ R&D department continuously develops new formulations and optimizes processes to address the unique challenges of the marine environment. All resins and encapsulation technologies undergo rigorous testing, including salt spray resistance, accelerated UV aging, and thermal cycling, to guarantee performance over the years in harsh conditions.

This proactive approach ensures that Demak’s solutions are not only robust but also future-proof, ready to meet the evolving demands of marine electrification and next-generation marine electronics protection standards.
